<p>One thing that came to mind after the meeting was that we are also the de facto maintainers of the Rust Forge. So it’d be good to add that if we want to continue to do so, or figure out what to do if we don’t.</p>

<p>I wouldn't consider release as maintaining the forge</p>

<p>like, you personally are definitely de-facto maintaining the forge</p>

<p>but the forge is also used by other teams, so release maintaining it would be... weird</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="121055">@Pietro Albini</span> I rewrote it sure, but today with being just mdbook, it’s mostly you, I, and <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116122">@simulacrum</span>  merging docs PRs, and that’s really all there is to it, not really any feature development. I think of it as organisation wide wiki.</p>
<p>I believe the release team as whole have merge rights as I thought I saw other members merging some stuff occasionally but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>I think a number of teams have (or could have) merge rights.</p>

<p>yeah I would consider every team maintaining their own little corner of the forge</p>

<p>It's not clear to me why release would be special; maybe you can say more about that?</p>

<p>I’m not saying we are special, I’m saying right now when a PR lands and it’s not related to a specific team, it falls on the release members to merge.</p>

<p>But I do feel like that list is too small compared to the actual number of teams we have. For example, why not let the dev tools teams merge stuff into forge?</p>

<p>Sure but I feel like that’s a bit of chicken and egg problem, people don’t know they can use it, so they just go document it elsewhere. It would be nice to say, “hey if you’re a team in the org, from today you have merge rights in forge, and can use it if you want.”</p>
